An Evening Under Dark Skies
Two nights before the new moon, the sky above Big Meadow is about as dark as it gets. Join wilderness instructor Jordan Blake for a guided tour of the autumn constellations, then take turns at our telescopes to find the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pleiades and, if the clouds stay away, the rings of Saturn.
What to Expect
- A 20-minute guided tour of the night sky
- Telescope stations for all ages
- Star maps to take home
- Hot cocoa and cider by the fire
What to Bring
Dress for temperatures near freezing and bring a blanket or camp chair. Please use a red light, or no light at all, so everyone’s eyes can adjust. The evening runs about two hours and is free for registered guests.
